a S a token of appreciation for « his earnest efforts the 1926 j varsity basketball squad has J elected Manual Laraneta to the captaincy for next season.

has confined Laraneta to basketball and football, where he has held down regular berths during the past two years of competition. On the gridiron Laraneta stands out in the same manner as he shines on the court.
To sport followers in Los Angeles, Laraneta will never be forgotten by the manner in which he piloted the Jefferson high school eleven in 1921, when that school boasted of perhaps its orle and only real football eleven.

OME interesting figures have been announced by the Pennsylvania te College in regard to their chapel endance. It seems that the eastern stitution has been having the same ifFiculties as have come up at South-California, with the students re-ting to the chapel exercises in an lignified academic manner. As a suit of all the agitation on the apel cxercises, the question was put a vote of the student body, with t result that the students voted ilnst chapel by a vote of 1709 to v almost a six to one majority.

Members of the Southern California rally committee and debate squad were hosts yesterday to Anthony Asquith, son of the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, when he was shown around the campus and entertained at different fraternity houses, before acting as chairman at the debate yesterday evening between the University of Southern California and I the University of British Columbia.
Mr. Asquith, as a graduate of Oxford College, was particularly interested in American fraternities and other institutions different from those j of his own campus. He was the lunch-Bover eon Kuest °f P*1* Kappa Tau, and was ' entertained at dinner by Phi Alpha. He has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks during his visit to the Southland.
In spite of the prevailing opinion that there must be a noticeable difference between American customs and ways of doing things and the conventions and ideas of Englishmen, Mr. Asquith was non-committal on most I questions asked him regarding these differences. American girls,, he > thotlght, were a bit “freer" in their j manner than English, and “certainly ’ better dressed.” He expressed great admiration for athletics in thir country, especially for the physical development which they have brought. He expressed himself as being quite surprised at the number and variety of world champion track men to be seen in action at the IT. S. C.-Oxy meet Saturday.
He saw no difference between the dance music of this country and his own, and thought that by this time the Charleston had probably become popular in England.
Probr.bly the most unique difference found by Mr. Asquith was in the scholastic methods of the two countries. He was surprised to learn of the number and variety of courses taken by students here, as well as the number of hours a week they study. Contrary to prevailing criticisms, he felt quite sure that students here work much harder than those on his own campus.
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Thus does the poor Trojan reporter search in vain for a clue to a Senior “Sneak Day” story. Cold shoulders and scornful, humiliating glances are the only replies from the Senior Sons of Troy.
To gain any information from a Senior on this subject is harder than the well-known attempt to squeeze blood from a turnip, or, as a feminine reporter puts it, to get a date with an eligible “ed” on the Southern Branch campus.
When the Senior class president was approached on the subject, he stopped, glanced warily around him, cast his eyes toward the heavens, then went merrily on his way, singing the song about “Spring Has Came.”
The only information forthcoming was to the effect that extensive preparations are being made for the traditional day and that the Juniors will be absolutely ignorant of the date of the big walk-out. A scientific method has been devised whereby the Seniors will be notified of the plans by mail, thus making it nearly impossible for the Juniors to learn the smallest detail of the plans.
Even the members of the fair sex, who are supposedly unable to keep a secret, refuse to divulge the least bit of information .... and in the meantime, the poor, downtrodden reporter must wait, watch and listen if he wants a clue for a story.

Keen interest in the forthcoming tryouts of the Honorary Tennis Club is being manifested ,according to Evelyn Ross, manager. Successful contestants in the schedule will become members of the new racket organization.
Postponed printing of the schedule of games has caused some misunderstanding among the contestants, and the schedule as printed today gives the correct time of the court competition.
Among those signed up for competition are players of prep stardom, as well as a number of physical education majors.

Secrecy Watchword As Enigmatic Signs Cover Campus
Has another secret organization made its appearance on the S. C. campus?
This was the question heard everywhere among the student body when K. K. K. appeared three times in large white letters on the walk in front of the Administration Building Monday. Although nothing definite is known concerning the origin of ihese letters, rumor has it that they stand for “Tri Kappa,” a national fraternity founded in Kentucky and strong throughout the South. Or perhaps the Chinese students have organized a Kwick Kwack Kwang.
Nothing has been seen of this organization except their letters, which were painted some time during the week-end and removed about late Monday afternoon.
Another possibility is that the Ku Klux Klan is raising its head on the campus. The appearance, coincident with the green '29 flag flying from the flagpole, casts suspicion on the Frosh. However, no evidence has explained the mystery of the walk.

A society drama in which the hero wears a bathrobe and makes love to numerous fair ladies is being rehearsed by the pledges, who will present this play as their share in the initiation.
All members are required to attend initiation, and failure to be present without sufficient excuse means loss of membership.

“Members of the campus colleges, including law and dental, are cordially invited to meet with the Liberal Arts students for a jolly informal evening,” stated Marjorie Rice, vice president of the student body, who is in charge of the affair. ‘‘The dance will be from nine until twelve o’clock.

However, this, year the committee in charge felt that a more informal attitude, and a more "get-acquainted spii-t” would be the result of all the guests being in the same ballroom. Only 1000 tickets are being printed, in order to eliminate all possibility of the floor being too crowded for dancing. The tickets will be available to all students attending S.

Dr. Jasper J. Mayer, prominent Los Angeles man, has been engaged to speak in chapel today at 10 o’clock. The subject of Dr. Mayer’s address will be “The Price of Sacrifice.” Dr. Mayer is known throughout the country as a speaker who carries his audience away by his strong personality.
Louise W. Harmon, Executive Secretary of Whittier College, in her comment on Dr. Mayer’s *address to the students of that college said, “He obtained the attention of the students to such an extent as to provoke arguments from them.”
Representative Edward C. Little, Chairman of the Committee on Revision of Laws, 66th Congress, stated, "He probably has greater familiarity with Russian and Siberian affairs than any living American; an acquaintance which extends to Southern European affairs."
S. C. CAST STAGES DEPUTATIONS SKIT
Play To Be Presented At Friday Rally Has Been Well Received At High Schools.
Plans for the presentation of the Deputations skit during the Friday rally hour were completed at a meeting of the Deputations Committee held yesterday in Dr. Bruce Baxter's office. This program Friday will give the students at Southern California a chance to see the original play that has been making such a pronounced hit at the high school.
This will be the second time that this play has been staged on the campus, the first time being in Touchstone Theater some weeks ago. However, since that time the entire act ha3 been changed and revised so that it now gives the high school students a much clearer and truer insight into the various phases of college life.
Leland Tallman, chairman of the Deputation Committee, is very much interested in the reaction and opinions that the audience Friday will have toward the play and desires that as many expressions as possible be given to him. Opinions, both favorable or unfavorable, will be carried to him if left in the Y. M. C. A. box in | Mr. Huse’s office.

Play To Be Presented At Friday Rally Has Been Well Received At High Schools.
Plans for the presentation of the Deputations skit during the Friday rally hour were completed at a meeting of the Deputations Committee held yesterday in Dr. Bruce Baxter's office. This program Friday will give the students at Southern California a chance to see the original play that has been making such a pronounced hit at the high school.
This will be the second time that this play has been staged on the campus, the first time being in Touchstone Theater some weeks ago. However, since that time the entire act ha3 been changed and revised so that it now gives the high school students a much clearer and truer insight into the various phases of college life.
Leland Tallman, chairman of the Deputation Committee, is very much interested in the reaction and opinions that the audience Friday will have toward the play and desires that as many expressions as possible be given to him. Opinions, both favorable or unfavorable, will be carried to him if left in the Y. M. C. A. box in | Mr. Huse’s office.
